EXTREMELY CLOSE LIGHTNING STRIKE STRUCK MY BACKYARD! *50ft AWAY*

[@thelightninghunter23]

Based on the sound, I'm thinking that the left bolt was just over 1/2mi away and the second bolt on the right around 1/4mi. Sounds like both downward leaders drew upward leaders/streamers off your property!

Thanks for the info bro and cheers for watching 👍

0:15 Definitely sounds about right. That’s a strong 55Ka negative. I get massive chills every time I listen to videos of close strikes where the camera picks up the discharge of the upward leader nearby. You can hear that sound also in person and when you do, BARELY and reaction time is given.

hey, that bolt was further away than 50ft

[@SouthSydneyStorms]

Nah man

[@dylbrieee]

@@SouthSydneyStorms no it was much further than 50ft

[@Kristoff3069]

Easily about a quarter of a mile away based on the shockwave distance.

Can I use this for a sparta remix?

The multi-branching strike was amazing!

Had something similar like this happen in March 2023 to me except the strike was extremely close. Only have footage from a security camera which was facing downward. Thinking of posting
